📍 How to Get Your Business on Google Maps in Jamaica

When someone in Mandeville types "barber near me", three businesses get the calls. Here is how to be one of them.

1. Claim the profile

Search your business on Google Maps; claim it or create it at business.google.com with your real name — keyword-stuffed names get suspended.

2. Nail the category

The primary category is the biggest ranking lever: pick the most specific one that matches what you make money from, add secondaries for the rest.

3. Complete every field

Hours, holiday hours, phone, WhatsApp, website, services with prices, a description naming your town.

4. Photos weekly, reviews monthly

Three phone photos a week in daylight; ask your happiest customers for reviews with the share link; reply to every review within a day.

5. Connect a website that names the town

A page title like "Barber in Mandeville — Cuts & Fades" plus structured data links the site to the listing and puts you in the blue links too.
